Common dev scenarios: Convert customer list CSV to JSON for bulk user creation, or import product catalog to frontend apps. Supports nested JSON (use dotted column names like 'user.address.city'), but requires consistent CSV header formatting.

This tool requires headers in the first row. For headless CSV, either add temporary headers (e.g., col1,col2), or process programmatically: read as array using libraries like csv-parser, then convert manually.
